Understanding Movies
The 1931 German classic “M” was an extremely scary movie. The film touches on many of the typical Lang themes such as: justice & revenge, mob hysteria, the anticipation in watching a helplessly trapped person unsuccessfully trying to escape as greater forces move in. I personally thought the film was wonderful for its time. It wasn’t the plot because it the typical plot that we have seen over and over. What sells the movie for me is the acting. It is so good that it can almost be defined as overacting because of the outstanding jobs done by all the lead actors but especially by Peter Lorre as Hans Beckert. The way he uses his eyes to show his emotions was pretty cool it was a something I hadn’t really seen too much of in too many movies.
The sound in the movie was very interesting at times. There were scenes where you would see people moving and talking but yet there was no sound. It added an extra bit of suspense and fear to the movie and made the movie that much better. There was another scene where the beggars were out looking for the murderer, and one of the beggars was running a music cart and you could hear children’s voices in the background. This added to the suspense because you don’t know if the killer is around or not but all you can hear is children and see them running around it added an eerie like effect to the movie.
I had to do a little research but I found out what song the killer was whistling it was the Grieg theme from `In the Hall of the Mountain King'. This theme has become synonymous with trouble, and menacing situations. The sound of the killer’s whistling is what inevitably gets him caught. The blind balloon seller sold a balloon to young Elsie Beckmann and a strange man was with her whistling the theme the same day she disappeared. So the next time a girl came by with the man whisting that same theme, the blind man told one of his friends. He ends up getting caught because of the sound of his whistling that’s one of the main significances of sound in the movie.
The director’s intent is hard for me to understand. There can be a couple of different points he may have been trying to prove.
There are many different ways to create sound on a film, often sound is used to symbolize certan things, and music is used to generate suspense, fear, joy, and many other different emotions. There are three different types of film sound used to create the world of a film; speech, noise, and music. In the scene "Breakfast Montage" Orson Welles uses many different sound techniques to create the world of film. Orson Welles used non digetic music to symbolize the change in Charles Kane and his first wife Emilys relationship. At first the music in the background was sort of romantic and uplifting ; later in their relationship when they were no longer seeing eye to eye on certain things the music was much more fast passed and symbolized a hostile enviroment. Welles also used non diegetic music to create tension between the two. Later in the scene Charles kane and Emily were arguing over something, its not very clear as to what they were disagreeing on but emily says "but people will think" and Charles responds with "what i tell them to...
As for the 1933 film, the sound track was composed by Max Steiner. Steiner’s music kept the feeling of escalating terror throughout most of the film and gave off
Henderson’s major concepts were to relate nursing, health of patient and environment. She believed “the unique function of the nurse is to assist the individual, sick or well, in the performance of those activities con...

In Frankenstein and The Bride of Frankenstein, sound is used as an effect to scare people and create a “spooky” feeling. They used the sounds of a storm with rain and thunder, the sound of footsteps coming up from behind people, and other noises like creaky stairs, floors, and doors. This created that “haunted” or “spooky” feeling that would be used over and over again in horror films for decades. When they used sound effects, it was to emphasize that something was either happening or about to happen.
Overall, the score was beautiful and appropriate, adding suspense and mystery at all the right times. The sound effects added psychological flavor to the story without drawing too much attention to it.
My philosophy of nursing incorporates knowledge, compassion, competence, and respect for each patient. It is based on my personal and professional experiences, both of which have helped me to positively contribute to a patient’s recovery and wellness. These are the attributes that give me a sense of pride and strengthen my commitment to the nursing profession. This paper explores my values and beliefs relating to a patient’s care, as well as, the responsibilities of health professionals.
It is essential that the practice be dependent and based on nursing fundamentals. These concepts are the foundation of the profession, which have been proven to be tried-and-true. They offer guidance and assistance for those in the nursing profession, by way of providing knowledge and ideas. The fundamentals that are taught in modern day nursing stress the importance of individual needs, both in a psychological and physiological fashion. As society continues to evolve, so will the standards of this particular
Every action that a nurse will make will be for the overall wellness of the patient, based directly on the type of care that the patient desires. One nursing journal that reflects on the concepts of the nursing metaparadigm defined the person as “a framework for organizing data about the individual person as the basic focus of the nursing’s attention” (Thorne et al, 1998). The person is the center of nursing care, and the care that the patient will receive is directly based on the information that they inform to the nurse. But the person also refers to the family and the loved ones of the patient. The family is the patient’s support system but they are also the ones that will advocate for the patient and put their own sense on the care that they believe their love one deserves or needs. The patient and the patient’s family will interact with the nurse directly to ensure that the patient receives the best care
Virginia Henderson developed the nursing need theory, which focuses on increasing the patient’s independence to speed up the recovery process (Alligood and Tomey, 2009). This is where my theory begins to connect with hers. Our main duty as nurses is to provide care for the patient while they are unable to care for themselves and facilitate them to be the best individual they can be. For this reason nursing is both a science and an art. It is a science in that nurses must understand the disease processes that are affecting the patient’s health, they must also practice based on evidence that is defended by science, and know how to operate equipment and machines. However, it is an art because it requires unique care for each patient, and each nurse is going to provide care in a slightly different way. The nurse is responsible for following the health care providers plan of care, but the nurse provides the creativity that provides the individualized care. The ultimate goal of nursing is to provide care to facilitate the patient in retaining or maintaining their maximal level of

A) Nurses play a special role interacting and building relationships with patients, mediating between patients and doctors, and calming patients amongst a stressful, emotional, and even chaotic atmosphere. When patients hear bad news, nurses are a source of comfort and support with words of encouragement and heart-warming smiles. Genuine compassion, emotional strength, and mental stability are required in order to support and protect a patient’s well being. Furthermore, nurses must primarily acknowledge the patient as an individual rather than a person with an illness and present themselves as a trustworthy companion rather than an obligatory caregiver. Nursing has many attractive qualities because they play various, but crucial, roles outside
Sound is important in film and how it is used to drive a narrative progression. I will analyse how and why in this essay. Covering the history of sound in films and the essential component it plays in the film industry.
I really liked when the scenes where the image and sound both work together great. I refer to the silence as nothingness and feeling alone because that describes the dark silences perfectly. It is definitely the most prominent part in the movie, and I think more movies should try to use silence to their advantage. I absolutely think that the movie uses silence expressively. For one thing, they are in space so there isn’t a lot of noise in the middle of the galaxy, but for some reason when I think back to when there were shots of the rocket ship in the dark galaxy I think of how the film makers made there be no background noise except the ship which was nice because it made it seem very realistic. Usually in movies there is a lot of background music that you don’t notice, but it helps the scene out. In this case the director used silence to make the scenes more realistic. I think of the scene where Matthew McCaughey goes into the dark hole. He was narrating at the time then suddenly you hear dead silence. It made me have a deeper connection with the movie because the movie was silent, but so were my thoughts. When I think back to the movie, I don’t remember there being a lot of music because it all just blended in, then I went back to see if they had anything special about their music I noticed all the different types of music they had throughout the movie. (This is all referring to my discussion post from chapter
.(Alice Petrin,2016) This need theory promotes patient independence.This theory focuses on fourteen components of patient needs and the responsibility of the nurse to promote patient independence.(Alice Petrin,2016) The goal is patient will be have some level of independence needed to continue rehabilitation after discharge.The components of the need theory ranges from one basic needs of oxygen, food and water to psychosocial and emotional needs of acceptance, development and accomplishment.
